Porcelain Doll

Porcelain Doll

Little porcelain doll

Sitting upon a wall

She broke her head

With thoughts of the dead

And now she's trying to fall

She lost her friend that night

Who lost his biggest fight

The friend that she lost

Was a huge cost

That dragged her away from the light

And now she lies awake

With thoughts that try to forsake

With her friend dead

They live in her head

Her sanity free to take

Author's Note

I'm not a huge fan of the line "Was a huge cost" but it was the best I could fit in there.

If the Humpty Dumpty esque rhythm scheme was intentional, then you did it very well, but at the price of that one line you mentioned in your authors note. However, it does benefit that classically creepy "children's song playing in the background of a horror movie" type poetry. Your last three lines are especially fitting.
Thanks for submitting!

Odd and a little spooky but in a good way. I like the last line very much.
